Poem: "The Emperor's New Clothes"

Sometimes we can learn something from a fairy-tale; so, take a look at "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Hans Christian Anderson and see modern applications of governmental deceptions and the pitfalls of political self-aggrandizement; as well as, the fear of people to face reality even when they know that what they are being told is untrue.

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts.

-Henry Adams
